Craig, thanks for your reply.
Do you know if a .Net app can be deployed an a Windows Based handheld and if so, which hand helds are supported ?
Your idea of developing a Web app sounds interesting ..
..This would nean that the salesman would always have to be connected to the Web (wirelessly) and also a Web server would need to be available and on line... Is this technology out there right now... .i.e. reliable wireless connection .. I thought WAP had got a bad press if this is the same thing.
Regards,
Gerard
